Abstract

In human resource management, the first approach is to select and recruit an employee in accordance with the organisational goals and strategies. This study aims to identify the dimensions influencing the selection of an appropriate employee. It is typically a qualitative research based on grounded theory and in-depth and semi-structured interview. To collect data, 14 human resource experts have been interviewed by applying purposive sampling. Data analysis has been performed in three stages of open coding, axial coding and selective coding; accordingly, the research qualitative model has been designed. Findings indicated 16 core concepts, 25 categories, and 40 sub-categories that have been designed and explained in the form of a paradigm model including causal conditions, contextual factors, intervening factors, strategies, and consequences. Finally, the dimensions of human resource management in the field of recruitment were explained with the ambidexterity approach.
